Approximate impedance models for sound propagation over acoustically-hard ground

Key Question Being Explored in This Insight:

A modal model for diffraction by a contiguous array of rectangular grooves in an acoustically-hard plane is extended to predict the free space acoustic field from a point source above such a structure. Keith Attenborough discusses an approximate effective impedance model for grooved surfaces.
